Case study

Sonic 3 & Knuckles — Recompiled: native PC build

This recompiles Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and also offers separate Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles builds, with segagenesisrecomp. Release v0.7.3 provides Windows x64 ZIPs and Linux x86_64 AppImages. Sonic3KRecomp is the combined game. The launcher asks for the matching ROM. High refresh rate options in v0.7.0 are 120, 144, or the display rate, while gameplay and music keep their normal speed.
